Russian officials say Ukraine rejects a proposed local ceasefire in and around the eastern city of Kostiantynivka. According to the reports, Russia offered a six-hour ceasefire to allow the handover of soldiers’ bodies. The outlets attribute the claim to Russian statements and describe the ceasefire as limited to the Kostiantynivka area. Two sources report that Russian officials say the Ukrainian army does not accept the truce, while another headline frames the same situation as Ukraine rejecting the local ceasefire for the body handover. The reports do not provide an independent verification of the proposal or response beyond the accounts presented by Russian officials. No details are included about when the ceasefire was intended to start, the specific mechanisms for retrieval, or any statements from Ukrainian authorities within the provided summaries. The common thread across the sources is the stated Russian attempt to facilitate the return of bodies through a short, localized ceasefire and the claim that the Ukrainian side rejects that plan.
